Hey @bigadorf, thanks for posting today!
Can you clarify if you receive that message after clicking the little globe icon, on the pop-up window of your Dropbox icon?
If you try accessing Dropbox directly through Safari, do you get the same message?
I would like you to locate your Dropbox icon on the menu bar, hover your mouse there and let me know what the status and version of our Desktop application is.
Let me know, and we'll take it from there.

Hey jaystanley2, I hope you're having a great Friday!
When you open Safari manually (not from the globe icon on our desktop app) and try to access Dropbox, do you receive the same message?
Also, let's try something. Can you uninstall, then install the app back in?
If the same thing occurs when you do, let me know.
Thanks!
